The Welsh in America; letters from the immigrants. by Conway, Alan,1920-2003.(CARDINAL)201797;
Bibliography: pages 330-332.Crossing the Atlantic -- Mother-lode, New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio -- Farming in Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska and Texas -- Farming in Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa and Tennessee -- Farming's last frontier, Oregon and Washington -- In American industry -- Iron and steel and tin-plate industries -- On the mining frontiers -- During the Civil War -- In search of Zion."The Welsh formed a small but significant part of the great migration from Europe to the United States during the nineteenth century. In this volume they tell their own story in letters they wrote from America to their families and friends back home. The letters are highly readable, written, for the most part, in vivid and entertaining style which reveals the Welsh as an unusually literate people. The 197 letters are arranged chronologically and geographically, starting with letters that tell of the voyage across the Atlantic. Once in America, the immigrants described their experiences in the farming country of New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and some of the other midwestern states. Later, as the frontier moved west, they wrote of their efforts to establish exclusive Welsh settlements on the Great Plains. From the industrial centers there are letters from coal miners and iron and steel workers. The fortune seekers who went to California in the gold rush or to the mines in Colorado are also represented. Still others tell of their search for salvation in the Mormon Zion of Utah"--Book jacket.

Under a metal sky : a journey through minerals, greed, and wonder / by Marsden, Philip,1961-authorauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Ammonite -- Ochre : An Introduction -- Tin -- Peat -- Bronze -- Silver -- Radium -- Aerolite -- Mercury -- Copper -- Gold -- Lithium : A Coda -- Soil."The ground beneath our feet is full of riches: the ochre that allowed prehistoric humans to paint on the cave walls; the tin that drove the early Industrial Revolution; radium, the source of Marie Curie's wonder; and lithium, the essential mineral of modern life found in our mobile phones and laptops. Each of these minerals has a story to tell, and each has its place in the broader story of human history. Under a Metal Sky takes us on a journey across the peat-rich Dutch lowlands, through Prague and Bohemia, and on to the gold-rich mountains of Georgia. Along the way, Marsden uncovers the strange and colorful histories of alchemy, scientific revolution, industrialization, and technological innovation, peopled by figures like the Habsburg Emperor Rudolf II, Goethe, Marie Curie, and William Blake. But alongside wonder and inspiration, there has also been plunder and heedless exploitation, the consequences of which have set us on a path towards our own extinction"-- Provided by publisher.
